Easy Scallop Heart Christmas Tree

This card has no stamping on the outside but I used TAC cardstock and red stickles so... This is one of those cards that you say "I wish I had thought of that" because I saw this made up at our local scrapbook store O'Dear What a Memory located between my hometown of Farmington Mo. and Ste. Genevieve, Mo. (where I grew up). The green cs was run through the cuttlebug with the swirls embossing folder, you then punch 3 sizes of scallop hearts. Run a small scrap of brown through the cuttle bug for the trunk. Use a piece of scarlet red cs cut at 3 3/4 and punch the holly Fiskars border punch along both edges. Now to make the tree, start at the bottom with the trunk, then the largest heart (inverted), on top of that the mid size heart and then the smallest heart. Put a star brad on top of the tree, decorate with stickles mount this on white base cs and a quick easy fun Christmas card is complete.
